Hum Ecology & Environment week 5 discussion

Instructions

Pick any one question and respond in an original discussion post by midnight, Day 4 of Week 5.

After the initial post, you must also provide substantive responses to at least 2 of your classmates’ posts and remain active on at least 
2 additional days during Week 5.

Discussion prompts: 

1. The human population depends on various natural resources, plants, and other members of the animal kingdom for our survival and lifestyles. Take a day in your life at home and at work and think of items or ways you could reduce or do away with. In what ways does the reduction promote resource depletion? As a nurse, how would you advocate for mitigating unrestricted consumption and its effects on the human population and health? (USLOs 5.1, 5.2)

OR

2. Take any two finite/non-renewable resources and discuss ways to conserve them or promote their sustainable use. How do the effects of resource depletion intersect with socioeconomic status, gender, race/ethnicity, and health outcomes? Explain. Next, in what ways can nurses encourage sustainability in their personal and professional settings? (USLOs 5.1, 5.2, 5.3, 5.4)

Each week, your discussion will be graded on a point scale. To successfully complete each weekly discussion assignment, you must address all items included in the discussion topic/question in the initial post and 
thoroughly respond to at least 2 peers on 2 different days.

25% of your final grade comes from discussion forum participation.

All posts should be thoughtful, add value to the discussion, and apply ideas, insights, or concepts from scholarly sources, assigned readings, lectures, or course materials in APA format. Your responses should consist of your informed input. One or two-sentence peer responses will not fetch full points. Do not merely recite the content you read in the unit; don’t simply give your opinion.

Your input should be in your own words (to avoid plagiarism), demonstrating your understanding and comprehension of the topic. Be sure to support all your posts (initial post + responses) with specific references to the assigned readings, lecture material, and other relevant research you find appropriate in APA format.

For specific details and criteria, refer to the discussion rubric in the syllabus.
